After a little more testing, I have found that disabling the Unity plugin from Compiz-Config Settings Manager still increases performance.
I don't have any scientific test or benchmark but I was running a video totem and noticed the following observations: **Unity Plugin Enabled** -Video seems to play ok windowed but when I drag it around the screen it doesn't move smoothly (I have wobbly windows enabled and this really shows up the lag) -Full screen video is not smooth **Unity Plugin Disabled*** -Video plays fine and there is hardly any noticeable lag when wobbling/dragging the video round the screen -Full screen video seems to be smooth So the difference is certainly noticeable, at least under some conditions. For everyday use, the difference is less noticeable but Videos and Wobbly Windows are more noticeable when there's a lag. So for me, this patch is a great improvement but I don't think it's totally resolved yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861061 Title: [regression] All apps have a lower frame rate under Unity.
